Press Release
January 26, 2010

 

After Taimuraz Mamsurov, head of the North Ossetia, and Yunus-bek-Yevkurov, head of Ingushetia, signed a programme for broadening of cooperation among republics, activists of youth movements also held their actions targeted at prevention of conflicts.

Youth public and human rights organisations from Chechnya, North Ossetia, Kabardino-Balkaria and Ingushetia met at the forum Youth for Peace at the Caucasus. YABLOKO activists from the North Ossetian branch of the party also took part in the forum.

“Young people encourage rapproachment of nations. It is necessary to reduce psychological discomfort between the Ingush and the Ossetian people now,” said Elona Playeva, YABLOKO activist and member of the Public Commission for Settlement of the Conflict between the two nations.

The participants of the forum also noted that such meetings of youth organisations “strengthen relations among peoples living in the Caucasus and form a reliable foundation for further generations”.
